home sweet caravan

The past week we had to quickly make our way up the East coast of NSW to meet our friends in Byron Bay for a music festival, Splendour in the Grass. From Canberra, we headed towards the coast to Batemans bay where we spent one night at a  campground situated in the Murramarang National Park….

We left the Gippsland dairy farm area and headed back up towards the Murray river. After a long day of driving from one of the most southern points of Victoria to the Victorian/ New South Wales border we arrived in Albury. Michael’s friend Matt lived close by and met us in Albury for dinner at…

After a month in Melbourne we were both ready to escape the city and get back out into the small country towns, which we both like the best.

A month in Melbourne, between going to Tasmania and getting our new caravan licenced we were out and about seeing Melbourne and it Surrounds.

After spending 3 months on the road, without seeing any familiar faces it was so nice to be greeted and welcomed to Melbourne by Michaels sister, Alison and her boyfriend Dallys. We are so grateful by how they made us feel right at home in their humble abode and it was such a treat to…

We have spent the last 2 weeks slowly making our way towards Melbourne along the Murray river. In one day we visited three states, from Remark in South Australia we drove to Mildura in Victoria and then we stayed across the river at Buronga caravan park in New South Wales. We parked up here for…

After our busy week in Adelaide’s city we were both looking forward to getting out of the city and having a relaxing week of not doing much, so that’s what we did. We arrived at great camp spot called Eagle Dell, located on a private property 20mins from Victor Harbour. The owner has transformed the…

After 2 months on the road, we arrived in our first capital city, Adelaide. We stayed at the overpriced caravan park in a suburb called Semaphore in Port Adelaide, 10minutes up the road from Glenelg. It was $35 per night here yet it was cheaper than the Big 4 in Glenelg which was $50 a night….
